Sorry if something went wrong. I was trying to improve Wikipedia. I was trying to find sources every time i met the tab "not enough sources". And when i saw broken link i was replacing it with the one that was working. --AlexMacArthur (talk) 06:33, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Alex, changes to external links get a bit more scrutiny here, and it did kind of look like you were changing sources to links to online casinos and lockpicking companies (a common spam theme). I'm still not quite certain of how reliable the sources are, but they do seem to contain helpful information. I do want to recommend to you that you search web.archive.org to see if a website is saved in the Internet Archive (then you can fix the link instead of removing it) and that in the case that the link is not in the archives that you try to cite reliable sources instead. I'd recommend not using the edit summary "Correcting link" since you're removing a source and not just fixing a link. Best, --89.153.169.78 (talk) 12:32, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Electronic lock. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

This is your only warning; if you insert a spam link to Wikipedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.
